Ireland and Irish Ancestry

Irish Research!!!!!!
Just a note to Inform people that here in Ireland our Records, Indexed and Microfilmed, Only go back to 1864. Everything before that was Destroyed by fire in 1916. Some Older records are available in the Parish of the counties, but are a lot harder to get at, so anyone looking for anything before 1864, are throwing a pebble into a very big pond.
Sad news but the Truth.
Regards Alan Long.

I Know very little about my Irish Ancestors. My Grandfather was Edward McMorrow and my Grandmother was Winefride McGloin and they were married before 1912 County Sligo. It has been sugested that McMorrows came originally from Northern Ireland but I have no proof. Would love to hear from anyone with info on these two surnames.

Hi, family name is Higgins. Lots of Irish families in my direct lines: Allen (County Carlow), Breen (County Wicklow), Cheshire (TBD), Clarke (TBD), Doyle (Bagenalstown, County Carlow), Heffernan (TBD), Higgins (TBD), Lynch (TBD).
Would apprciate any help on Cheshire/Chesher/Chessher/Chescher/Cheshier ..., in particular. Not a very common Irish name, as far as I've been able to determine.

It seems that many Irish settlers came to Monmouth and Newport in particular. Both sides of my wife's family settled there. Any links to the Furlongs, Powers or Traynors?

I am looking for any connection with my Lightbody family from Tullyrone, Tyrone, Northern Ireland.
Isaac Lightbody married Ann Gillespie.
Children were William, Samuel, Margaret, Thomas Henry, and more.
Some went to Australia which is my G Grandfather William and brother Samuel also came to Australia. Some went to USA.

I am looking for possible parents of DANIEL MACNAMARA of BANDON, COUNTY CORK, IRELAND born about 1820 who migrated to MONMOUTHSHIRE, WALES sometime prior to 1854. I am also looking for parents of his wife, CATHERINE DONOVAN or MCCARTHY (she used both surnames) born about 1835 in SKIBBEREEN, COUNTY CORK, IRELAND who also migrated to WALES before 1854. All ten of their children were baptized Roman Catholic with definite Irish baptismal sponsors. Entire family were coal miners in Wales and the United States.

I'm interested in Fitzgeralds in Ireland. Our ancestors came over in the late 1700s, settling first in Canada, and then moving down to Illinois. I have no data on where they originated in Ireland, so I'm seeking any other Fitzgerald researchers to hopefully connect some dots.

I am searching for records for my Greatgrandmother who I believe was born in CT and then returned to Ireland. I am impressed with this site and it is easy to access.

Carolyn, I have a Dunlop from Ayrshire, Scotland. Perhaps there was a change in the spelling at some point?
